This inspiring collaboration highlights the vital role our coastal habitats play in supporting unique species and celebrates the natural heritage found along one of the UK’s most treasured shorelines. 

The short film, designed to be child-friendly and engaging for all ages, showcases the stunning natural habitats stretching from Scarborough to Spurn Point. Through vibrant visuals and an engaging narrative, it aims to spark curiosity and encourage care for the unique marine and coastal environments of the North Sea.

Robin Diaper, Curator of Maritime and Social History, said: "We want to draw people’s attention to the richness of the wildlife along the Yorkshire coast, and this inspiring film is a beautiful, accessible way to inspire wonder and appreciation for the incredible natural heritage we have on our doorstep.

“It’s a fantastic example of how Hull Maritime is connecting our city’s proud maritime heritage with the natural world around us, helping people of all ages understand and value the remarkable wildlife along our coast through this partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.”

The film is one of several new digital features being introduced as part of the museum’s major redevelopment, which will offer visitors fresh perspectives on Hull’s maritime heritage.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the film as part of the new displays when the museum reopens, helping to instil an appreciation in these special places and the animals that live in them.
